They are gorgeous aren't they. I get more comments about mine than the rest of the bike. There's a particularly resonant frequency that makes you feel like your bowels are loosening
Bike looks lush Chris!

Just cans, I've had them in the garage for three years since i sold the bike. Was determined to own another SP1/2 one day and it just so happens that I've bought the same bike back
Still need to play around with them a bit, it's weird, the left can is rock solid, the right one has some play in it even though everything is tight.
They are coming off again Monday as I promised a lot of mates pillion rides during my week off next week.

I have been told by Roger Ditchfield that a certain amount of play in the moriwaki cans is normal and quite important because of the brittle nature of titanium.
He said that if everything is bolted up too tight it can crack, leading to long faces.
Do these cans have an internal removable baffle?
I have had a look with led light down the cans, but can't really see....
Chris.

It wouldn't worry me if they both had the same amount of play, it's because one has quite a lot more play than the other. The left one is still able to move around slightly (a few mm left and right) but the right one is a lot more.

No baffles in these, didn't know you could even get moriwakis with baffles tbh
